Intended orb order after getting ship

[Xanikk]

Is there one? It didn't really matter in previous versions I played but now there are surprise bosses that didn't exist before. I tried to grab the orb at Theddon around level 22 but I was not prepared when a boss popped up out of the nether right before grabbing it. The boss kept calling for help and using whack one-shots and I could not revive and heal fast enough while maintaining damage to stop them from calling for help so I wiped.

I assume perhaps this boss should be done later with better gear or higher levels. Is there an intended orb order in this game?

I almost always went after the orb originally guarded by a boss first.

(edit:) Isn't there whack-resistant armor with the same accessability? Might want to buy it for once in DQIII's life.

Which one?

The Purple Orb (stalling)

Theddon also kicked my ass there. Yellow will still probably be last due to it being behind so much story content.

I'm pretty sure all the orbs can be gotten in any order.
though some bosses when getting those orbs might be tougher then others.
One example is one boss that was a troll and he hit like a dump truck, took me a couple tries before i could beat him and i was i think around level 30-33 which that was in my opinion the toughest boss i'ev faced so far so if i were to put a level to the over all difficulties for all the orbs i would say 25-30.

And that's with a party of hero warrior mage and priest, can't tell ya how easy or not it will be with other classes in there.

I do the Jippang orb first

I suppose it would depend on what you find more difficult between Dying Flames/Orochi/Chiromancer. Chiromancer is tough to compare since it's a solo fight which works fairly differently, but I would say Dying Flames are more difficult than Orochi personally. The bosses and dungeons you have to deal with for the Silver Orb are basically unarguably the hardest, I'd say. The order is obviously free but easiest to hardest would imo be

Red->Purple/Blue->Green->Yellow->Silver

[ShockedHearts]

all I know is that I did orochi really early and I barely beat her. first time I had to think in the playthrough lol

I figure the 'intended' order is the order that's on the Zoom list.
